First of all, UPS sucks as usual.
They called me like 4 times asking for Custom Brokers,
and finally one agent connected me to A&A. They should've done this
from the beginning!!!!!

Anyways, it got cleared, and final charge from A&A is $222.23.
I avoided the duty tax by saying that the kit is made in USA, not Germany.

Last time I imported my rear bumper only from Tischer, I paid around $130 to UPS. Considering it is the whole kit this time, I think it's about right.. but still expensive...

regarding UPS. I remember when my last company started to use UPS Freight, our shipper would call them and they would keep sending the brown van to pick up. Called to complain and their CS would say that we don't take industrial freight! WTF???? This was when they were marketing the service with the commercials on TV all the time (the forklift putting the pallet on top of the guy's desk). They have no clue on their own company!

So at the end of the day this was:
US$900 for the kit
US$300 for shipping
~CDN$223 for custom and taxes
Not bad. Pricey but cheaper than buying it from the local dealership for sure!

I guess i'm too late to tell you this....but...

I had the same situation, and all you have to do is just go to the custom's office and pay the duty and tax. There's an office in burnaby and in Downtown vancouver...

I just went in their office and told them what happened, and handed them my credit card...

I guess i saved 120 bucks there...

i usually go to the shipping company get the papers, walk next door to the customs office beside the cafe runway. fill some other papers, pay, stamped. walk back to the shipping company hand the papers and tell them i want it delivered.

i brought the invoices and stuff, it's like 1 whole package they sent me in email, to the customs office and they just calc the tax and i paid tax. There were no duty fees for me either. I only ordered the rear bumper, so tax was about 60 bucks and that was it.

People there at the customs office were pretty nice, so no broker needed.

You do realize you're bumping a 10 year old thread with no real need for new information?

A little tip for you guys, every time you buy in Europe(Mainly Germany) always use the shipping from DHL Regular Post International(7 to 10 days) and then its handled with CanadaPost when it enters the country,

if you need Express shipping, Use DHL Express(way cheaper than crooked Hillary,Sorry Crooked UPS,Fedex ,I slipped lol = US based company of greed ,see their top share Holder and youll understand why,)
